Big Cane Conservation Area offers a public boat ramp providing access to Big Cane Creek Ditch near Neelyville in Butler County. This access point is maintained as part of a two-ramp system designed to provide recreational opportunities for fishing and paddling on Big Cane Ditch and Big Cane Creek. The gravel ramp facility supports kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats.
As a Missouri Department of Conservation area, the site permits various recreational uses including boating, fishing, hunting, and nature observation. Paddlers should note that this is a ditch system rather than a large river, so water conditions and navigability may vary seasonally. Contact the Missouri Department of Conservation or visit their website for current conditions, seasonal water levels, and any access updates before planning your trip.
